Thai Catering in London

What is Thai food and what are its origins?

Known for its intricate combinations of as many of the 5 key taste sensations (sour, sweet, salty, bitter, spicy) as possible, the national cuisine of Thailand has become one of London’s go-to event foods.
Thai cuisine has influenced, and been influenced by, the culinary traditions of its South-East Asian neighbours, including Laos, Malaysia, China, Indonesia, SIngapore and Vietnam.
This fusion brings curry, spicy soup, stir fry and noodles together, making it ideal for any team lunch or office event.
Rice is the first and most important part of any Thai meal. Indeed, kin khao means both “eat rice” and “eat food” in Thailand.
Meals typically consist of rice alongside a variety of complimentary dishes, mixing the flavours and textures of many different dishes with the rice on your plate.
However, Thai catering in London has adapted to serve individual dishes, street food style.

Traditionally a meal would have at least 5 elements:

A dip or relish for raw and cooked vegetables is the most crucial component, most commonly a chilli sauce known as nam phrik

A clear soup like Tom Yam

A curry or stew (anything prefixed by kaeng on the menu)

A deep fried dish

A stir fried dish of meat, fish, seafood or vegetables

Thailand is famous for its enthusiastic use of fresh herbs and spices to bring its dishes to life.
Common flavours come from garlic, galangal, coriander, lemongrass, shallots, pepper, kaffir lime, shrimp paste, fish sauce and chilli.
Palm sugar sweetens while lime and turmeric bring the sourness. Pork and chicken are the most popular meats but seafood is king, especially prawns.
